In fact, it might be even better to put a small example of a document
you created with Composer, as well as the Gnumeric spreadsheet you made
using it. Morten's comments (that we need to know what you expected to
happen, and what you saw actually happen) still apply.

That way even if it's not actually a Gnumeric bug we might be able to
explain what's going wrong, to at least point you in the right
direction.
